Audience Reviews for Almost Human: Season 1

From Producer J.J. Abrams comes the sci-fi cop drama Almost Human. Set in the near future where new technologies are leading to an escalation in crime, the police force begins to supplement its ranks with androids. Season 1 follows Det. John Kennex who returns to the force after suffering a trauma, and is paired with an outmoded android that has a "synthetic soul" that allows him to think and act human. Several intriguing continuing story threads are set up in the first few episodes, but after a while they're dropped and forgotten as the series turns into a weekly crime procedural. Karl Urban, Michael Ealy, and Minka Kelly give solid performances and make for a good assemble cast. And the special effects are especially well-done, making for some fascinating future technologies. Almost Human delivers an exciting and action-packed 13 episode first season, but it's not always sure of what type of show it wants to be.
